The Overlord of Xiguang

Xie Xiao, a highly respected sophomore at No.3 High School in Xiguang City, is known for his meticulous thinking and intelligence far beyond his peers. He navigates the school with strategy and cunning, earning everyone's respect. He only wants to study hard and finish his education peacefully, escaping the chaotic old town. One day after school, he witnesses a gangster extorting a classmate in an alley. By paying 200 yuan to resolve the situation, he inadvertently receives a ticket into the gray world. The prestige he holds on campus cannot protect him outside; the city's dark survival rules shatter his desire for a peaceful life. Avoiding trouble does not bring safety; retreat only invites exploitation. After weighing the pros and cons, Xie Xiao actively takes the path of the underworld. Without reckless passion, he relies on calculated schemes; not on brute force, but on his superior intellect to plan and maneuver. Starting as a low-level figure in the cracks of the night market, he deals with local powers, wins people over, resolves deadly situations, and crushes layer after layer of opponents, moving effortlessly between the lawful and the lawless. The once calm and perceptive top student of No.3 High School gradually rises, killing decisively, and eventually ascends to the top of Xiguang's underworld, becoming the city's unrivaled overlord, writing a legend of a mafia saga built on intelligence.
